Catholic Bishops Accuse Bwala and Onanuga of Undermining Tinubus Re-Election, Says APC Chieftain Vatsa

Vatsa insisted that hunger, poverty, and insecurity remain daily realities for many Nigerians. “Anybody who says there is no extreme hunger and poverty in the country today is carrying the curse of Nigerians on his head. Nigerians are dying every day from hunger and hardship,” he said. He urged Bwala and Onanuga to show greater respect for the Christian faith and the Catholic Church, warning that continued hostility could further erode trust between the government and Christian communities.

The APC chieftain challenged the presidential aides to visit states like Borno and Niger to witness firsthand the impact of insecurity, displacement, and economic distress. He maintained that religious leaders have a sacred duty to speak for the voiceless and hold authorities accountable. Vatsa concluded that the administration would gain more public confidence by listening to constructive criticism and tackling the nation’s core challenges rather than attacking those who speak truth to power. His remarks underscore growing concern within political circles about the potential electoral fallout of perceived government insensitivity toward religious and social issues.
